15 Ways To Make Cheap Wine Insanely Drinkable. How to make a Birthday Cake Martini. I love creative ways to make celebrations extra special.

When I'm entertaining, I always like to give attention to the details. At the end of the day, it's those special touches that guests will remember and hopefully be inspired by. One of my favorite details is a signature cocktail recipe. It’s a great opportunity to bring in something unique to suit the occasion as well as a fun way for guests to try something new.

Raspberry White Hot Chocolate marks the end of Hot Chocolate Week—where “week” is loosely defined as “that period of time that shall not conform to a calendar week wherein I post hot chocolate recipes until I decide to stop”—and the beginning of Valentine’s Day season on the blog. Get out your tutus and glitter guns, because things are going to get obscenely cute around here for a few weeks. I’m not usually in such a rush to usher in Valentine’s Day, but this month has been a grind of illness and work and other nonsense that takes up a lot of time but doesn’t make for good blog content.

Mojito recipe. Recipe: mojitos I thought we had escaped this year.

We didn’t have a single hummingbird crash and burn on our deck (that we knew of) this spring.
